This is a fast paced story of Rory and Missy, being hunted by a group of nasty people who enjoy hunting couples and then murdering them just for fun. Rory is a war veteran and against all odds he comes up with innovative ideas to defend himself and Missy from the hunters, who are armed with bows, arrows and knives. The situations, in which Rory and Missy find themselves, are very dangerous and you feel that there is no way out for them, but the way Rory defends himself and Missy, leaves you praising the skills, the presence of mind, physical stamina, will power and training of Rory. Missy also plays a vital role in survival. The best part of the story, according to me, is, when Rory and Missy decide to help other prisoners, in spite of being in a life and death situation themselves. This story has all the elements to be made into action thriller movie. The author has written this story so well that you are forced to read it in one sitting. It is a compulsive page turner. I have no hesitation in giving it five star rating.

When I read about the hunting games in "Trance formation of America", I found it horrible and hard to believe (that describes the whole book actually), but I remember thinking it was a very good setup for a thriller.

Mr MacRae takes that theme in this book: people are kidnapped during a Cancer gala and taken to a place in the Rocky Mountains, to be hunted down.

Of course the bad guys make a mistake. They include Rory-Mack Steele, private investigator and ex Canadian black ops, who certainly knows how to defend himself.

The book is fast paced, with many very graphic fights, nasty bad guys and two likable main characters, Roy and Missy. This is the first book of the series, but not the first I read. So I already knew part of Rory's back-story and abilities.

Cons: the bad guys are a bit cardboard and there are no hints about who they are.

Rory Mack Steele wakes up from sleep in a fog, and a 12 x 12 foot redwood log room dressed in a tuxedo...and everything is wrong! So starts this tale of a strange hunting game. He is paired with a woman...Missy who is unknown to him...and the hunt starts! They have 15 minutes to get away from a hunting lodge, and then, they'll be hunted down by sadistic killers in camouflage clothes. They'll have to rely on their wits and whatever else they have. An old car hood becomes a sled--and so the chase begins--with others awaiting the same fate. This book is a fast-paced thrilling page-turning adventure, I couldn't stop reading, i was so absorbed. The writer is creative, imaginative and skillful, his plot is full of daring deeds and unexpected twists and turns. I look forward to reading more from this author!

A superbly written, action-packed gripping thriller that is truly worthy of five starsWarning: Hold your breath, grit your teeth, and get ready for the most terrifying literary experience of your life.I have no doubt that this extremely dark mystery thriller will soon be made into a movie. This expertly crafted contemporary novel will keep you on the edge of your seat until you are finished. Two complete strangers, Private Investigator Rory Mack Steel and Missy Amos, a feisty and beautiful young woman, wake up in separate rooms inside an enormous, windowless cabin that is somewhere in the middle of the wilderness. They quickly discover why they, along with many other men and women dressed in expensive evening gowns and formal attire, are being held captive by a large group of brutal-looking men, wearing green and brown camouflage clothing and armed with powerful hunting bows and huge bowie knives. Missy and Rory are still struggling to recover from being heavily drugged by their captors when they are informed that in a few moments time they will be taken outside and must run for their lives. None of the completely bewildered and terrified captives will be given access to water, food, or weapons, yet all of them will soon have to try to evade and defend themselves against their completely merciless pursuers. Even though they really don't know each other, Missy and Rory immediately realize that they must use their combined ingenuity and inner strength to have any chance of surviving in the hostile wilderness against completely impossible odds.I thoroughly enjoyed reading this amazing new novel by Canadian author, Eugene Lloyd MacRae, which without any need for exaggeration is absolutely full-to-the-brim with completely believable characters, real suspense, formidable opponents, and non-stop action.I highly recommend it.This is an Amazon.com verified purchase by Daniel Sinclair Pearson

If you're looking for a nicely paced thriller, with some plot twists to keep you guessing, I would recommend "Hunted." This book is the first in a series written around a main character who is Canadian. If you're experience with thrillers and mysteries is like mine, you sort of expect the hero to be either American, British, perhaps French. But Canadian? And yet that works quite well.

The author, Eugene Lloyd MacRae, does a nice job with this story (including an undercurrent of romantic comedy even!) and I'm looking forward to reading more books in the series.

This was my first 'Rory Mack' story. I bought it based on the 5 star 'fast paced' reviews. And yes it was definitely faced paced - had me thinking 'Matthew Reilly' but a little too fast paced for me at times with things conveniently falling into place for the hero survivors .

The book seemed to be a combination of Deliverance, Shoot and Open Season (the original, not the animated version) in a good way, with some logical escape and evasion thinking by our heroes

I would definitely buy it if you are into the manhunt genre, and I will try another Rory Mack to see how I go.
